"I remember who I am," matriarchal character in Moonstruck.
Recent British research (Energy Times July/August 2010) indicates that older people are less likely to fall if they participate in physical therapy. I have implemented physical therapy for Dwane for mobility and balance. It has been good, if only for his becoming more aware of the difficulty he has in balance. Then, of course, they give him tips and exercises to help with his balance. It is also a support system for him that does not have to involve me. If your doctor orders the physical therapy, Medicare pays for it, or at least part of it.
